Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Cadet any%

I'll make it more readable on google docs eventually with colours and stuff i guess.
Don't wait on that though i'm doing other stuff too.


Tutorial (Mission 1)
Blizzard BOM with Ace to kill first soldiers, get restore, continue blizzard BOM.
clear soldiers off balconies (SHG or ace).
SHG the MA leader, start charge as soon as hit switch (hit first sight with Thundara).
BOM until finish jammer.
SHG MA leader again (wait for first sight again).

SHG MAs after safe zone (first sight comes quickly).
Sweep once with Odin then Zantetsu (starts at 20%?)(every extra attempt costs 5-6s)
Blizzard BOM on Dainslef (Ace then Seven, charge Blizzara after first hp bar)



Akademeia 1
Classroom, back garden, back garden+cemetery. Save crystal.

Assign Sice (Reasoning: fast academia travel speed)
Learn Accel on Sice
Equip Rem Blizz BOM, Thunder SHG (BOM = Powerful, SHG = Ranged, instant, strong vs MA)
Reserves: Reasoning: faster menus before missions and can deploy people (mostly) from top to bottom
Ace with Cinque
Cater with Cinque
Deuce with Jack
Sice with Machina
Machina with Cinque

Chocobo Ranch, grab chocobos.
Mission control, ready to march.
Speak to Kurasame in classroom. Buy 1 ether and equip ether on the way out.
(If Rem is always primed for the first mission then don't really need the Ether?)

Chocobo to Mctighe. REM/JACK/TREY.
Shoutouts to Primed Rem if you get it.
Reasoning: Rem 2-shots enemies that Cater 3-shots (without primed, and oneshots things with).
her MP pool is also significantly larger (and still requires an ether without primed)



CADETS FIRST DEPLOYMENT (MISSION 2) (Good time: Primed: 1:30/Without Prime: 1:40)
Blizzard BOM the fools.
Dash to the barricades, BOM THE FOOLS. BOM first 2 turrets, SHG 3rd. BOM leader.

Speak to Kurasame.
Head out, equip potions on the way.

Chocobo to the sadness place. REM/JACK/MACHINA.
Shoutouts to Primed Rem if you get it.
Reasoning: Rem now has Slipstream, and only travels slightly slower than Cater due to it.
However, she has both more powerful magic, and Thunder SHG to destroy the midsize carrier
and to beat the boss with, making her ~30s faster
Machina is the destroyer of enemies who don't die in one hit. the gate, 2nd leader MA, and Schmitz.
Jack is the destroyer of enemies who DO die in one hit, but not from Rem.

Directly backwards after leaving Mi-go. Enter first town in Iscah.

Cater/Jack/Trey/Machina/Ace/Seven/Cinque/Rem

Send Deuce/Queen/King (really you can send anyone except Cater/Jack/Trey/Rem/Eight but my notes assume you send these three)
Put everyone into Roster (Unless you don't plan on killing Shinryu, which is faster (takes same time with awful RNG), but difficult)
If you plan on dying to Shinryu then you can probably make do with 8-9 members, but the AI can die in this mission so probably worth just taking everyone anyway and killing them on Dracos
CATER/JACK/TREY



The Battle of Judecca (MISSION 7) (not sure what good time is, maybe 17:30? PB: 18:44 (Kill w/ Bad RNG))

EITHER:
Leave two party members (Jack+Cater) surviving after (Killing Shinryu)
Leave one party member (Jack) surviving after the dracobaltian assault (dying to Shinryu)

Killing Shinryu with Shiva can take about 2:05-2:10 if good RNG. you get a venom bow (38 attack).
promote her to Icicle Twirl Crit+2 if you plan on fighting.
It takes 4 cycles of good DPS to beat her. if Shiva dies at any point you lose 60+seconds.
This is harder than it might seem, since you have to Resummon halfway through the fight.
If you can't 4-cycle (it actually requires good DPS knowledge), don't bother. or learn to 4-cycle. Video to come soon i guess.

Dying to Shinryu takes about 2:45 with one member. Easy to do.
